HanyuBase exists for one simple moment: when someone learning Chinese picks up a pen and wants to write characters the right way — with good grids, correct stroke order and nothing in the way.
Type Chinese characters, get a beautiful practice sheet. Every worksheet shows each character on a classic mi zi grid (米字格) with pinyin above and an optional stroke-order strip that numbers every stroke. Choose tracing rows, faded guides or blank grids, then download a print-ready PDF in A4 or US Letter.
The site is a static web app — worksheets are laid out with the same engine that renders the PDF, so what you see in the preview is exactly what your printer gets. Stroke order comes from the open Make Me a Hanzi database, and the friendly handwriting on screen is set in LXGW WenKai (霞鹜文楷). No tracking, no paywall.
Students making their first flashcard sheets, parents supporting Saturday Chinese school, teachers preparing a term of practice books, and heritage learners reconnecting with the characters they grew up seeing. Print as many as you like — worksheets from HanyuBase are free to use for teaching.
